quote
The reformist prostitute landed herself in prison where she was
tortured by Cirque Du Soleil transvestite midgets for days and
subsequently signed a confession letter admitting that she had
killed Yasser Arafat by forcing him to eat a double Quarter Pounder
with cheese while praying behind a female Imam.

Crawford, Texas (not AP) - A tragic fire this morning destroyed
the personal library of President George W. Bush. The fire began
in the presidential bathroom where both of the books were kept.
Both of his books have been lost. A presidential spokesman said
the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring
the second one.
